For a time I would get an anxiety attack when I had to dress in male mode. Haven't tried it in a while. -

Thank for the birthday wishes, everyone!!! It started great...and then I was rear-ended at a highway construction site this morning. I'm OK. The woman who hit me was shaken - was going fast enough to deploy her air bags. I was at dead stop. Her car had to be towed away. My truck too a hit to the tailgate and the bumper. It seems OK otherwise but I'll know tomorrow when they do the appraisal. UGH! Happy Birthday to Me!! :-) -

"How did it go yesterday? Any trouble in Millville?" He shook his head. "Your biscuits and gravy are great." "Mama's recipe. She taught this girl to COOK." "Uh-huh. Well, it rained the whole time. We did the ground breaking in pouring rain. Your friend, the former head of manufacturing, is now on the Board. It looks like sunshine down there, he told me, with the missile plant starting up and they re-hired all the people they fired. Millville Products is as it was. And the Chinese money is still coming. That was just an ugly rumor. Gibson quit, but you knew that." "Missile plant, huh. Yeah. Gibson and I may go into business. But I have been thinking-" "Yeah. It's been declassified. I can tell you they made missiles for Navy ships and planes during World War 2. It was shut down after Vietnam. Several other supporting companies are moving in - paint, electronics assembly, a few others - that support missile production." "Okay." -

That is, it's a great document in that it seems to clearly define things, not that I'm in agreement with it. -

https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/col/cj82k733h I am now dissatisfied with the thread title because it seems to exclude Catholics and maybe others . I am not sure what to change it to, so I will fuss over THAT now. -

I'm on the ballot being mailed tomorrow for an open US Rep seat. I have both an honorable discharge and an other than honorable discharge. I told the Navy that I was smoking pot every day right after Y2K. I told them that while I was in the Navy, I substituted alcohol for marijuana and that the alcohol was making me violently sick. After 5+ years of that, I said enough is enough and I went back to smoking pot. I got better and I felt like the quality of my work was improving. I certainly wasn't the perfect military member, but I excelled at my job and earned a promotion in boot camp. They drug tested our unit several times after I told them I was smoking pot and I may have never tested positive. I was opening smoking pot in the Navy for 3 or 4 months before they decided to kick me out. At my captain's mast, the captain tried to shame me by saying I looked bad in uniform and that I was a disgrace, but all my evaluations said that I looked great in uniform. I took great pride in looking good in my dress blues and whites. Sure, I had grown my hair out a little bit (you know, it's not like I became trans in my 50's all the sudden) and I was enjoying some green anodized eye glasses :) I think that people get very emotional about these kinds of issues when they should be concentrating more on engineering things and work performance. I think we should take the lead and talk about our professional lives more instead of focusing on this type of politics. That's a great document and I saved the PDF to my hard drive. I think we should have more respect for the production that China is doing instead of concentrating on raising a military defense against them. I personally disliked the hazing rituals in the Navy and think our military would be better off with being more accepting and intelligent. -

My snarky comment of the morning is that Trump may be the first president sworn into office from a jail cell. He can't keep his mouth under control. It's likely he may be serving time for contempt for violating gag orders in January if he keeps it up, and the judges are more than happy to slap fines and imprisonment on him. -

For one thing, this is Rolling Stone, who is convinced that the right is evil and writes articles from that perspective. For another, he did not call out for eradication. His answer was lousy, I did not like it, it was ambiguous, but he denied being for eradication of transgender people. I still don't know what transgenderism is, but I see it as distinct from transgender people. Conservative TG people need to become politically active and actively dialog and engage with these people.. Dang it. -

Here's some inspiration. Wheels within wheels. -

Yes, totally. That's a great story about your math history @Vidanjali! Wow! People tend to forget or are not aware of grads instead of degrees and radians, but that is becoming a big deal to me in the idea of coding a trigonometric function. If you set your calculator to grads and then do the sin of 33.33, it comes up with .4999, you know, pi/6. The significance here is that by dividing pi/2 (radians) into 100 units (grads) instead of 90 units (degrees), you are now in a base 10 space. And when we are dealing with decimals (in base 10), and trying to convert them back to ratios, then notating our angles in the base 10 system of gradients seems like it is the key to coding the trigonometric function. Then again, this has all kind of been a revelation to me the last couple days. It's fun to combine math with code and I'm looking forward to writing some algorithms around this. My last job was coding software for a healthcare company and there was no math involved in that and that was a depressing part of that job. The long hours of that job kind of created a spiritual backlog of wanting to do some math work and I think that energy is busting out right now. -

Went out to get the mail. I was thinking that I only have dysphoria when I am dressed like a guy as I walked out there, looselimbed and feeling femme. Get with the program, girl, says I. I am supposed to be dysphoric when I am wearing women's clothing, not the other way around. In the past I have worn women's clothing like this and after a while said I guess I really don't have GD, switched to male clothing until I gave it up, miserable, and went back. Dreaming of a nice skirt-suit set. Looked at them on Amazon. And a peasant skirt with a nice lacy top. And a denim skirt, worn with tights, boots and a turtleneck. A girl can dream. -

Yes, indeed. It's nice to think about. Calculus allows you to work with an infinitely-many-sided regular polygon which may as well be a circle. I worked with such ideas within my master's thesis which was a history of the Jordan Curve Theorem. Basically, the theorem states that if you draw a circle on a piece of paper, that the circle separates the paper into two distinct regions - the interior of the circle and the exterior of the circle. Turns out it's not so straightforward to prove rigorously, especially considering all they had to work with at the time the theorem was stated was Euclidean geometry. It took generations and the development of new fields of mathematics before any correct proof was established.
